Weaver Notes
Based on Arts & Crafts coloration and patterning.
19.5″ wide x 42.5″ long
802 working ends, so 1604 warp threads.
2 ends per heddle. The beat was 5 double picks/” on the loom, 4.5/” finished. I used relatively loose warp tension and beat hard with a shed stick in the upcoming shed. The thick weft was twisted at the selvedge. Thin wefts were treated as if for an inkle band, by leaving a weft loop, beating and then pulling the far side loopy weft snug against the selvedge. 20/2 used for hem.
Colors used:
UKI Special Turquoise, UKI Light Turquoise, UKI Light Orange, UKI Dark Gold, Lunatic Fringe Butter Yellow, UKI Duck, Lunatic Fringe Kelp
